Year Four

Update: 13.07.2020 [see week 7]

Hello year 4! 

Please see attached for the year 4 workpack [includes: maths, English and reading]

If you are unable to access it online (i.e you don't have publisher) then please come into school to collect a hardcopy. We have printed enough for you all (x30), so I would urge you to come into school as it contains vital learning. 

-The work packs will be made available for you from school [reception] at the start of each week. Again, I strongly recommend you use these to your advantage. 

- I will be making the work packs for the next seven weeks for year 4, and I hope they're of use. 

I will be back in school this week, teaching the year 6 class, but if you would like to get in touch with me then see below:

Have a great week, and I hope to see you all soon.
